Nazare is known for the 100 foot world record wave conquered by Garrett McNamara. You can search youtube or google and see the skyscraper size waves. It was very calm when we visited.
South beach Nazare.
North beach is where the big waves are. Some of the surfers have a buddy on a sea-doo get them in and out of the waves. We watched some epic wipe outs and sea-doo rescues.
